Trudi, sometimes it's not about the valuation but making sure that your parents wishes are adhered to. You would be astounded how many people fail to make a Will when it can be done fairly quickly and depending on which solicitor, at a reasonable cost.

Money is the root of all evil, and there are so many family fall-outs, when a loved one passes away, purely based on who should get what and who said what to who etc etc. Losing someone is traumatic enough but with the added upset of siblings, or half siblings at war with each other, it can be a very upsetting time for all involved.

Making a Will, that can always be updated if necessary, offers peace of mind to everyone, especially your parents so they are right to bite the bullet (or suck it in your Dad's case! :blink: ) now so that you can all get on with your lives with one less thing to worry about. Your Dad can then concentrate on getting better and getting some dentures fitted!

[QUOTE="Kathy, post: 2089166"] Trudi, sometimes it's not about the valuation :D but making sure that your parents wishes are adhered to. You would be astounded how many people fail to make a Will when it can be done fairly quickly and depending on which solicitor, at a reasonable cost. Money is the root of all evil, and there are so many family fall-outs, when a loved one passes away, purely based on who should get what and who said what to who etc etc. Losing someone is traumatic enough but with the added upset of siblings, or half siblings at war with each other, it can be a very upsetting time for all involved. Making a Will, that can always be updated if necessary, offers peace of mind to everyone, especially your parents so they are right to bite the bullet (or suck it in your Dad's case! :blink: ) now so that you can all get on with your lives with one less thing to worry about. Your Dad can then concentrate on getting better and getting some dentures fitted! :P [/QUOTE]
